anonymouse Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Saw in yesterdays CM Mail an advert and a unbiased review for an Elizabethan English restaurant just opened near Rimping condo. I'm looking forward to giving the place a try and wish them the best of luck but imho they must be either incredibly naive, have balls bigger than King Kong or know something I don't about the demand for 16th Century English food in Chiang Mai if they think this place will last.

Why limit the rhetorical question to only 16th Century English food? The demand for food in general? Elizabethan food . . . that would be slabs of roasted meat (BBQ, Mookatat) and gallons of ale (Chang) . . . . it could work! JxP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miltonbentley Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 A decent wench only has lumps in the chestal region. She should also be practised in holding a minimum of 8 foaming stoops at any one time and have a bawdy laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinHunt Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Seems to me that all the Brit restaurants keep closing down: Queen Vic, Hungry Horse, The Gatehouse. Maybe <deleted> is in the eye of the beholder! The Queen Vic isn't closed down. (why do you persist with this one) The Gatehouse was doing Fondue (that's not British, by the way) The Pub is still open (20+ years) The Olde Bell is doing fine Blackpool Bar and various back-soi places selling English food ares still open. And The Red Lion .... still thriving after 10 years!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reply to Ulysses G's question about British breakfast, Austhaied told him it was still open - yesterday. The Queen Vic is still there and does the best breakfast in town, closely followed by The Pub.. And he replied Thanks. I was starving. I just had Eggs Benedict with fried potatoes, followed by a hot cinnamon bun at Art Cafe. Next time! It looked odd to me but I'm sure there is a good explanation.

Ulysses G. Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 The Queen Vic isn't closed down. (why do you persist with this one) Because of this: The Queen Vic's Website I am guessing that Austhaied didn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I've eaten at a couple of Elizabethan restaurants in the UK and they were both excellent. If the owner gets it right it will certainly work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(why do you persist with this one) Because of this: The Queen Vic's Website I am guessing that Austhaied didn't know. I thought that Austhaied was telling you it is open. But that was only because he said The Queen Vic is still there and does the best breakfast in town maybe he should have been clearer!! I went there 2 nights ago and it was open. I have now seen the web-site, but that only tells me that they have a legal dispute. It doesn't tell me it is closed. I have been there very recently and so has Austhaed so let's assume it is open until somebody says otherwise shall we? It may affect his business, after all. By the way, I've only met the guy once,and have no interest in this matter other than to point out that rumour-mongering about other peoples business should be avoided in an onlibe forum. Let's stick with the facts shall we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Sorry, their website says it is closed and a few other people have told me that it is closed, but you could be right. Looks like someone is going to have to swing by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it closed after you were last there possibly? The Gatehouse - which is affiliated - just shut down a few days ago and I've seen that with my own eyes which is why I believed the rumors about the Vic and the website seemed to confirm it.

JuniorExPat Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Good grief children! Maybe one party is in control of the Queen Vic website and maybe another is in control of the establishment and maybe they are in dispute - just maybe, I would hate to be accused of rumour mongering! However, it seems that whatever business problems they may or may not have, they are still open and still serving what is in some people's opinion the best breakfast in town. Anyway, sausages are my main issue - The Laughing Leprechaun is the only place that ever got that right by using Yorkies genuine pork bangers, I'll get my lardy breakfast butt over to the Queen Vic shortly to see what their sausages are like and report back - UG, it's a race!!
